Step-by-Step Walkthrough

1

The Deku Tree's Request

The Great Deku Tree acknowledges that five deep Gloom nodes remain in his root system, too deep for him to purge alone. He asks Link to enter the roots and purify them.

2

Enter the Root Tunnels

Cracks in the Great Deku Tree's base open into labyrinthine root tunnels filled with soft Gloom. Sundelion Elixirs are essential. Koroks guide the way.

3

Purify the Five Nodes

Each node is a pulsing Gloom crystal embedded in a root junction. Place a Sundelion-Fused Sage's Crystal at each node to purify it.

4

Final Root Chamber

The fifth node is guarded by a Phantom Gloom Hands. Defeat it and purify the final node. The Great Deku Tree's full health is restored.
